As I think we have discussed before, there is always good music coming out in every decade. Today it is just harder to find and isn't played on most commercial radio stations.
But the 1983-1986 era was the last time there was a lot of great music on top 40 radio. The mid 1960s were probably the best time for top 40 music with the mid 1980s coming in second.
It was really the last period for mass appeal music that appealed to a wide range of demographics. |
